Log Analytics: Track the HTTP request method used for each request (GET or POST)

[mattab]

As a user, when importing server logs in my analytics platform, I want to be able to see:

• How many GET and POST requests there were
• Segment traffic to view only GET requests
• Segment traffic to view only POST requests
  • For example, show me all pages that were POST requests (eg. web forms)

To achieve this, we need to:

• Log Analytics: parse the HTTP request method
  • Send the HTTP request method as a custom variable: ["GET"]("HTTP-method":)

Once this is done, as a Piwik user I can:

• Create a segment to see only GET or POST requests (using segment on this Custom Variable)
• View the Custom Variables report and see how many GET and POST there were, and for each: number of visits, number of pageviews.
